Indicators for trees of dominant species in permanent observation plot (POP) included defoliation, discoloration, condition category, and damage extent. The indicator dynamics was assessed based on procedures of geo-informational mapping and spatial analysis taking into account landscapefocused POP and human-induced impact. The total of 710 POP were analysed in six regions of Russia: Leningrad Region, Pskov Region, Novgorod Region, Kaliningrad Region, Murmansk Region, and the Republic of Karelia. As the research showed, indicators like defoliation degree and share of damaged trees were the most informative (sensitive to primary types of impact). Tree plants with a high level of defoliation were found in softwood forests formed in glaciolacustrine landscapes of low platform plains and in landscapes of high platform plains (Precambrian shields and ridges with glacier expressions) in the Republic of Karelia and Leningrad Region (Karelian Isthmus). The share of damaged trees increased from 23% in 2008 to 39% in 2010. Maximum values of the indicator (above 80%) over the entire observation period were found in four regions: the Republic of Karelia (predominantly on the Karelian Isthmus), Leningrad Region, Murmansk Region, and Kaliningrad Region. Occurrence of the most dangerous biotic causes of tree damages was high in Leningrad Region and the Republic of Karelia. The share of trees with diseases was higher in north taiga forests (30%) as compared to middle taiga forests (24%) and south taiga forests (19%). To the highest extent, the damage was manifested in POP focused on sand landscapes and in Precambrian shields and ridges of high platform plains. In general, the cartographic analysis of monitoring data collected over 2008-2010 showed the Karelian Isthmus (Leningrad Region) where middle taiga forests were steadily characterised by the worst average condition of tree plants within the entire ICP Forests network.","PeriodicalId":237008,"journal":{"name":"Forest science issues","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114759040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most common sections were the green moss and the sphagnous one. They include five groups of forest types each. The least diverse is the lichenous section: it consists of only two groups of forest types. In each group of forest types individual forest types were identified. The most common types of forest were bilberry-green moss pine and spruce forests.","PeriodicalId":237008,"journal":{"name":"Forest science issues","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129621196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the possible ways is to create a regional transport model for the case of forest fire based on the network of public roads and forest glades. Paper describes a method of calculation of travelling time and distance to a forest fire, research results for an experimental transport model, created by Network Analyst ArcGIS, to build the shortest routes from the fire stations to the forest fires. Spatially-distributed data on the fire trucks’ average speed for different types of roads and the elevation values were used in the model for the test area (Irkutsk region of Russia). In total 16251 routes were built and analyzed for 16 years (2002-2017). The model was validated using the data on forest fires detected by the MODIS-Aqua/Terra spectroradiometer within the ground and forest aviation zones of test region. A map showing the fire routes within one-, twoand threehours ground transport accessibility is created for the forest fire ground protection zone of the test region. The model’s work quality was validated for the forest fires detected within the ground zone. As a result, 98% (2661) of forest fires in the ground zone are accessible within three hours and less, that indirectly confirms the correctness of model. At the same time, the majority of forest fires are located within one(68%) and two(24%) hour’s availability. Finally, recommendations on using the transport model for the managerial decisions on the forest fire fighting on regional level were given.","PeriodicalId":237008,"journal":{"name":"Forest science issues","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129143202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
